Default P42
Yup -- some are lighter blue, some are "normal" Piedmont blue.

I have never surveyed but I suspect the lighter ones are like 70/30 or 60/40. Adam G. may have the best insight -- if he is still on Net54.

Hey guys,

The blue ink on these PIEDMONT Factory #42 cards varies all over the place. Many of them are very light blue, while others are a darker blue (typical of PIEDMONT cards).
These PIEDMONT cards, and the UZIT cards were printed in the last production runs of the T206 set (circa Jan - Feb 1911). Both these backs exhibit this blue ink variation.
It has nothing to do with environmental or chemical or human tinkering with these cards. American Lithographic, for whatever reasons printed some with their normal blue
ink, and others with a "diluted" blue ink.

And, two semi-dark blue ones......

As a casual collector I see quite a few (relative to how many there are) of the lighter blue shade P42s.

There are also examples of non P42s that have the lighter blue ink. I've looked at several lighter blue examples on eBay over the years thinking I've found a P42 only to be proven wrong upon closer inspection.

Andy, As a PD 42 collector I would love to see examples of other T206 backs with the lighter ink. Post some or shoot a link if you can.

Thanks,
Adam

unfortunately I never saved any images of them specifically. But I'm sure I've seen them. Sorry Adam, I wish I had them to share with you.

Adam, do you consider this one to be a light-ink back? I can't tell.

Spot on Scot....Having said that, most that I have had over the years have had the very pale blue ink....
